Pau Gasol scored 13 points to help lead world champions Spain to a 72-59 victory over Dirk Nowitzki and Germany in Olympic basketball men's Group B play.
The Spanish team, which is under fire for a recent publicity photo in which they pulled back the skin around their eyes to appear more Asian, was cheered by the crowd. The team has since said it meant no offense with the photo.
What's your thought of this photo offensive or not?
Spain's Pau Gasol, center for the LALakers, said. "It was something like supposed to be funny or something but never offensive in any way," "I'm sorry if anybody thought or took it the wrong way and thought that it was offensive." "it was absurd that people were calling the gesture racist" "We never intended anything like that,"
